Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha pays attention. If the world learns from me, it will be possessed. -Daoji Zen Master (Jigong Living Buddha).
Second, allusions:
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a story about a man of practice who ate meat and drank wine to save his life. In the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang rioted, mountain thieves ran rampant, killing and looting everywhere, and the people were displaced and fled everywhere. Mount Emei, Sichuan, was ransacked by mountain thieves, and a group of people fled into a temple in the mountain in panic. The abbot of the temple is called the broken mountain monk. He was kind enough to take in the refugees. Who knows that mountain thieves chased the temple, robbed the money and killed people. Abbot Broken Mountain knows mountain thieves, so please don't hurt the people. No matter what the conditions are, the abbot is willing to bear them, but he implores these people to be spared. The mountain thief once received the kindness of the abbot who broke the mountain, so he was embarrassed to refuse, so he came up with a ghost idea to let the abbot retreat. So the thief took out some wine and meat and said to the abbot, "Monk, my condition is very simple. As long as you eat the spilled meat, I will let these people go, and I will never say anything. " Everyone is in an uproar! This plan is absolutely unique! When a yogi drinks and sprinkles meat and breaks fast, he will surely break into animal paths and hungry ghosts and suffer endlessly. I saw the abbot of Broken Mountain pick up his glass and calmly said, "I'll replace tea with wine, and everyone will drink tea." Say that finish and drink it off. Then he picked up a piece of meat and said, "I use this piece of meat as a dish." Please. "Say that finish and began to eat. Don't change your face. The mountain thief was surprised by this, but he had to let everyone go.
The abbot who broke the mountain is in danger, but he has no choice but to sacrifice the right path, fast and save people, and is not afraid of falling into evil ways and suffering. Buddha said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" The abbot's true compassion for eating meat is the bodhisattva spirit of Mahayana Buddhism.
